European launch of PS3 delayed until March 2007

Despite the fact that in Europe, the PS3 is going to cost $770US if you convert it from 599 Euros, the PS3 is going to launch almost an entire half year after it releases in the US! Not that it matters anyway, since there won’t be enough consoles to go around as it is, let alone if you try to spread it around the world. As if sony coming up with enough bad ideas. So much for their “global” launch! Having games that are region-free doesn’t really matter much if the launch is going to have a 5 month hiatus, now does it!

[…] Come on, sony? Whatever happened to the “100% backwards compatibility?” did it go the way of your global launch of four million consoles?

I’ve heard about the problems you’ve been having lately…I understand that you’ve been under a lot of strain. That still doesn’t mean I feel sorry for the company that lies to it’s consumers… […]
